Guys its advised to keep layer chickens in good layer feed at all times (letting them eat when they want to eat not rationing them) to keep their egg production as good as possible. Its scratch feed that should be rationed. Once theyre used to not being rationed they will only eat when hungry, it may take a while. The "they go through a sack in a few days" may simply be they were in survival mode still (as in stuffing their faces because they dont know there wont be rations again) so should drop down and stabilise once they realise the food is available whenever they want to eat. Most chicken owners keep layer feed available at all times (take a look at coghill farm or grandpa doss farms or many others - i know you have the chicken master too for advice but may help you looking at others too, to see that they still eat bugs etc even when food is down and available at all times and that theyre not simply gorging themselves - it may just take a little for them to come out of survival mode and slow down til they realise the food isnt going to be rationed anymore) And giving them a really decent layer feed like Kalmbach again will keep them as healthy as possible and laying as much as possible. Adding a light through the winter will help too as they obviously need the daylight to produce eggs too. This is direct from the kalmbach website when asking if chickens will lay more if they get more food (feel free to google but if i post a link youtube usually hides the comment) Will a chicken lay more eggs if I feed it more? If an animal is nutrient deficient (or stressed!), the first thing she will sacrifice is egg production. Keeping a high-quality layer feed, such as our Henhouse Reserve® or All Natural 17% Layer, available for your hens at all times is the #1 way to help them lay more eggs.
if you want the girls to lay more eggs, u could put a low wattage bulb in the chicken coop on a timer so it just extends the daylight. Lily is styling it. Love it
Is there any way you could build a room connecting the walls to the Thunder Dome and the wash room. You could use that as a storage room for your canned food. Also put the chest freezer in there . Just Hava a door in the front and that way you would not be cutting into either building. Very convenient for Roxanne also
I really enjoy watching your videos, especially when Anthony is building something. You'd think he is a professional builder. It's very relaxing ti watch Anthony measuring, cutting and nailing, kinda like watching Bob Ross when he was painting! ❤❤❤
Thanks for addressing my comment. I really love your families. My first husband and his sister and her husband had a family compound in TX. There's nothing like family.
There are just so many hours in a day. You are doing great. One day at a time. Do things at your own speed. You both are doing great now so don’t feel pressured in doing something your not ready for. Do things your way. I hate pressure so I hope for you that you take your time and do things as you are ready. Love you all and please don’t pressure yourself. Life is too short live your life the way you want and be happy. Love you❤️🎄
Yay! From the sound of your answers on all the projects, we are going to have content for YEARS to come! I'll be here watching. Blessings, Texas Deb 😁❤
Thank You, very informative, we'll thought through! I would think Gary and Roxy would be a hello of a team troubleshooting your mower! Make it a Winter project! Thank You fellow Vet, I love the flag pole area! Since you added a solar light to honor the flag, how about a night shot of your creation! ❤❤
Anthony, rails for a hump/bridge are simple enough. Use cuts that are strong enough for your purpose and cut in 3-5 segments on small angles at the end. Use internal support of metal rod (drilled through middle) and fasten together with scabs and using the keystone style of construction. Sounds complicated, but is really quite simple. the underpinning can be any design you wish depending on the weight going over the bridge.
Your home is beautiful and cozy looking Anthony and Roxanne 😍 it's your dreams becoming reality and the fact that you share the progression is just cool! Your doing wonderful! I think a sun room sounds awesome but whatever you decide is your dream and I shall look forward to that awesome video. One day at a time and life unfolds many things in your future. My best to y'all and of course your special lil man, who won't be lil long, Wyatt. Giant hugs from SE Missouri!
I loved this Q and A session, you were working right along answering questions without a sit down. 😊 The lady had a great idea with the pond benches, for both fishing on, and storing fishing poles and stuff in. Love what ya'll are doing 😊
If you want your hens to lay eggs don't cut the rations in half. Remember when you fed them all they wanted and the bag was gone in 3 days? You had all them eggs and now you're rationing their food to half that and you don't have any eggs. Also a small light inside the coop to give them a couple more hours of light per day. You do those two things and you'll keep having lots of eggs. The cold has nothing to do. It's food and daylight.
Great questions, I love how calm and respectful you two are responding to everyone's questions. Although some have been asked over and over. A lot of us may be older and I guess some people may have missed it or just forget lol. But you're sweet about repeating.
Thanks for doing the Q&A. Since I watch all of your videos on both channels. Most of the questions I have get answered somewhere along the line. I still enjoy hearing other people's questions and your answers. Best wishes
Hi guy's! My question would be when are you going to put a permanent fence around the garden and expand the garden as well? Also is a greenhouse any closer to becoming a reality? Those are my questions. Have a great day,take care and God Bless!!!❤😊
Hi Anthony and Roxanne I liked the way you both fielded the question time, carrying out your chores and taking it all so naturally, bless you both and have a wonderful Christmas break
Roxanne if you buy Organic garlic at the store you can plant that right now. I know your dogs are in the garden area but as long as the ground isn’t frozen which it’s not even here in Ohio you can still plant it
It would be a short project to do a single zip line rope then later a tightrope bridge. Just 3 ropes long enough to go across from a sturdy tree to another sturdy tree. Then maybe a deep hook in the tree fasten the rope to. So it's portable to take down the rope for elsewhere use and the hook could be used for hanging a solar light or whatever if desired. Then anoteher time Lil project - upgrade to a swinging bridge by subbing for the walking tightrope a rope ladder. Rope on each side with rope rungs threaded thru wood slats. Still portable reusable rope. Then upgrade another time. Get lots of video content that way
Have you ever thought about a step down bridge from the back deck to the thunderdome? The steps could come down both sides to the pole barn and to the bbq deck and still have a gate to the back deck to keep the dogs off. It would have a nice flow.
Just a suggestion here, but I would put a big fence around your house, the pole barn and thunderdome for your dog's. Otherwise, I worry they could hurt themselves constantly trying to get out so they could be near you. Plus, life gets busy and you will be less likely to spend quality time with them if they are not right there with you.
Love the addition of the flag pole and fence you put in front of it, nice job. Question did you ever think about asking your viewers to submit pictures of their flag pole layouts. Would make a nice episode with you sharing what you receive with all of us. Peace and Merry Christmas.
You could build a flat high bridge but build it with steps at both ends. That way you could have it tall so when the water is higher you have clearness for water flow under it, and stairs at both ends of them bridge. Just an idea.
We absolutely love watching your channel and we have been binge watching for the last few months Just wondering if you are thinking of building kennels for the dogs Also have you thought of putting a tray underneath the rabbits to catch the droppings making it easier for Roxanne to collect for her garden We have also sent you something from us here in Perth Western Australia which hopefully you'll get very soon😊😊 Much love Ally and rod slade
I do have a question that you kind of answered on the Daily Vibe this morning. I was wandering if you’re going to build something like Mel and Gary did for their dogs? And then fence that in so the dogs stick around the house!
just tossing out a possibility suggestion when it comes food preservation you guys have great framily possibly of community building that all could share in building and equipping with items needed for the process have seen something similar a town has a building with commercial kitchen that's available to small business to process they're goods from canning to bake goods from salsas to cookies and cake or pies packaged, labeled even room for inventory then sell online or manage to get shelf space in community stores while this be bit much for you guys the shared cost among framily on smaller scale
I don't know if this has already been asked, but how much did one well and your septic costs? I'm thinking of doing something simular as you guys. Thanks for answering in advance. 🙂
Hi guys.. I may have missed it but did you start using the eggs that you put in the lime water I think it was yet and if so what were they like.. love your videos xxx
You certainly do have a beautiful view over Gary and Mel's house. My question would be, sorry, don't know how many times it has been asked, but what is "Country Road Cure" represent or what does it mean???? Keep those videos coming!!! Tks
I love these q&a's. I have a question and I'm not trying to be rude. You mentioned in a video while ago about keeping the dogs out of the garden area. Almost every video when you are in the garden. The dogs are in there.....lol Did that choice to keep them out, go out the window? I know my dog follows me everywhere, so its hard to keep them out of areas...lol
Rox you were talking about a canning room. Ant was talking about turning the pole barn into a fully enclosed barn. Would there be room for you to have part of that as your canning room. It would be close to the house too.
My guess is things like the fantastic view, increased security, ease of the kids playing together with four adults in close proximity, cost sharing such as the water wells and maintaining one driveway.
Guys its advised to keep layer chickens in good layer feed at all times (letting them eat when they want to eat not rationing them) to keep their egg production as good as possible.

Hey Ant, you’re getting pretty good at building stuff. Any plans to build a bus stop to keep the kids out of the weather?
Beautiful UNblocked mountain view! 😊❤ And those colors--- WOW 👌

Put a golf ball in each nesting box to mimic an egg

I love your Q&A videos. Thank you for answering my question about the bridge.
I really enjoy your talk & answer questions. You both are doing a great job with everything 😊
I enjoyed this format for a Q & A. So ya working and a talking. Great job!

Good information!!Thank you ❤I really want a shed to house and have since way back 2007 when I actually started looking.
Please put something down for the rabbits feet. I imagine the cold stiff wire in the cold is not comfortable.
So great ❤❤❤
Thx for the question and answer session. We liked it. Have a great week guys.❤️😃
Build a fishing shack with sliding doors on three sides so it’s open and airy while fishing.
You could build a flat high bridge but build it with steps at both ends. That way you could have it tall so when the water is higher you have clearness for water flow under it, and stairs at both ends of them bridge. Just an idea.
A screened in porch would be very nice, no bugs when you sit outside at night
Arched bridge . And yes it's easy.
We absolutely love watching your channel and we have been binge watching for the last few months
Just wondering if you are thinking of building kennels for the dogs
Also have you thought of putting a tray underneath the rabbits to catch the droppings making it easier for Roxanne to collect for her garden
We have also sent you something from us here in Perth Western Australia which hopefully you'll get very soon😊😊
Much love
Ally and rod slade
Maybe put in a culvert so the water drains thru it it would mean bringing it out but well worth putting the bridge over it
That’s the BEST Mountain View in Arkansas!!!!
I enjoy all the questions and answers. Always fun to get y'all's answers. Thank you for doing this. ❤
❤ I love the Q & A videos. ❤
Love these videos i think everyone leaves with some knowledge
Great video production guys!!
Thanks for sharing
You guys are great!!! Love watching your videos.
Hi guys glad you are well are you going to put a porch on so you can sit out and look at the the view be safe bless
Do you ever plan on having a milking cow or goat? You could make your own cheese, ice cream and butter. And we all know what a good cook you are!!!!
😊.
Hi Guys, love these video's. Have a great day!
What if y’all use some of your trees that you have on your property to make a bridge and your little box? Things are your fishing poles
What are the top 2 priorities on projects? What's needed for them?
I do have a question that you kind of answered on the Daily Vibe this morning. I was wandering if you’re going to build something like Mel and Gary did for their dogs? And then fence that in so the dogs stick around the house!
Good afternoon Rox & Ant 🌞
👍 love the Q&A's
LOVED THE VIDEO QUESTIONS GOD BLESS
Love these Q & A's!!💖
Good evening Rox and Anthony
Do you still plan on building a greenhouse? If it’s been cold this fall just wait until winter gets here…maybe you will have a mild winter.
just tossing out a possibility suggestion when it comes food preservation you guys have great framily possibly of community building that all could share in building and equipping with items needed for the process
have seen something similar
a town has a building with commercial kitchen that's available to small business to process they're goods from canning to bake goods from salsas to cookies and cake or pies packaged, labeled even room for inventory
then sell online or manage to get shelf space in community stores
while this be bit much for you guys
the shared cost among framily on smaller scale
Im pretty sure I watch all your vids..I love the Q&A..Have you looked UNder THE COOP FOR EGGS?? Chickens are weird ya know..LOL
I think you guys should make a fence around your yard so your dog will stay in the yard yard
The mountain side looks good
Very nice color egg!
Enjoy the q&A videos😊
I think it would nice if all you guys made an index stating project you personal projects so people can check out.
I don't know if this has already been asked, but how much did one well and your septic costs? I'm thinking of doing something simular as you guys. Thanks for answering in advance. 🙂
Hi guys.. I may have missed it but did you start using the eggs that you put in the lime water I think it was yet and if so what were they like.. love your videos xxx
You certainly do have a beautiful view over Gary and Mel's house. My question would be, sorry, don't know how many times it has been asked, but what is "Country Road Cure" represent or what does it mean???? Keep those videos coming!!! Tks
Have y'all finished cleaning up all the way around the pond?
Hey my friends, reconnecting with my new channel- Jerry
I love these q&a's. I have a question and I'm not trying to be rude. You mentioned in a video while ago about keeping the dogs out of the garden area. Almost every video when you are in the garden. The dogs are in there.....lol Did that choice to keep them out, go out the window? I know my dog follows me everywhere, so its hard to keep them out of areas...lol
Rox you were talking about a canning room. Ant was talking about turning the pole barn into a fully enclosed barn. Would there be room for you to have part of that as your canning room. It would be close to the house too.
Are you planning on a garage for your cars and I'd you are, will it be an actual building or just a cover with no walks?
I'm sure this has been addressed before, but why did you guys decide to build so close with the amount of acreage that you have?
My guess is things like the fantastic view, increased security, ease of the kids playing together with four adults in close proximity, cost sharing such as the water wells and maintaining one driveway.
@@gingw7333 makes sense to me. Thanks.
Yes they did talk about that. they truly like each other... Family
SORRY they did that, sorry to me it's an I sore!!😢 draw some trees. flowers on there siding . make just mesh with scenery
What future dreams do you have for our garden area?
nice video looking good
Watch for patio well sheds they are coming out with a new line next year may want to do a sponsorship. Just saying
Have you thought about adding an extension onto either end of the house to build a pantry canning room
You will appreciate the long glove when you start having baby bunnies. they always try to rip your arms up.
You may have already answered this, but I was wondering if you’ve had to start using your water glass eggs?
What if the electricity goes out, how will you heat?
They have generators.
Anthony and Roxanne, where did you get your shed to house, and how big is it? I've been looking at a 14 x 60
If yall build a sunroom on front, put wood stove in there
🙋♀️♥️👍
So are you gonna have your bike back on the road next spring
I would think it would be cheaper than all the wood, just saying.
Im wondering if you have taking the time to take a ride on your Harley in those beautiful mountains?
